Flood geology easily accounts for the formation of coal. It is the geologists method of preference actually.

I work for an international professional organization of petroleum engineers, people whose field closely parallels that of coal-mining geologists. And though I would know that A4C was wrong even without this experience, the thousands of peer-review articles I have read on the subject serve to underscore just how utterly, insanely wrong he is.
Why do fundies lie like this? Even if A4C really believes it, it's only because somebody said it and he bought it. Somebody, somewhere, lied in outright denial of reality for this -- and did it in the name of God. This is simply reprehensible -- unless it's because of mental illness, in which case it's mere delusion, which means it is just pathetic that nobody corrected the matter. ~David D.G.

I would like to share with you all, this commentary by Saint Augustine. It was written approximately in the year 400AD and just goes to show that these idiots have been around since the beginning of time.
" Usually, even a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other elements of this world, about the motion and orbit of the stars and even their size and relative positions, about the predictable eclipses of the sun and moon, the cycles of the years and the seasons, about the kinds of animals, shrubs, stones, and so forth, and this knowledge he hold to as being certain from reason and experience. Now, it is a disgraceful and dangerous thing for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking nonsense on these topics; and we should take all means to prevent such an embarrassing situation, in which people show up vast ignorance in a Christian and laugh it to scorn. The shame is not so much that an ignorant individual is derided, but that people outside the household of faith think our sacred writers held such opinions, and, to the great loss of those for whose salvation we toil, the writers of our Scripture are criticized and rejected as unlearned men. If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods and on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason? Reckless and incompetent expounders of Holy Scripture bring untold trouble and sorrow on their wiser brethren when they are caught in one of their mischievous false opinions and are taken to task by those who are not bound by the authority of our sacred books. For then, to defend their utterly foolish and obviously untrue statements, they will try to call upon Holy Scripture for proof and even recite from memory many passages which they think support their position, although they understand neither what they say nor the things about which they make assertion."

How big would the biosophere have to have been for all the oil and coal on the Earth to have formed from ONE event? I mean, all those plants and animals would have to have been alive at the same time and died within one year.
Or look at the White cliffs of Dover. How many life forms are represented by that pile of shells? If they all died and were deposited during Noah’s 600th year on Earth, the oceans would ahve been thicker than a stew.
